RaNia is one of those who have validated their talent by the long line of reknown producers collaborating with them and other Kpop artists promoting them on Twitter each time they have a release. Recently it was Yang Hyun Suk's co-production of their release "Style" that gave them the badge of honor, and made their name more frequently uttered in the Kpop circles.

Currently touring and performing with five members, Saem (leader), Riko, Di, T-ae and Xia, the six-member girl group (including currently on hiatus lead vocalist Jooyi) RaNia is a must watch. Their powerful performances leave no room for doubt as they exude not only beauty and talent but also unwavering confidence important to succeed in the fierce battles characteristic of the Kpop industry.

Recently, there were talks of their planned expansion into the US, which is still in the works and currently slated for early 2013. Due to overwhelming demand, their management has decided to tread carefully to ensure an impactful launch into a very challenging market. In their interview with KpopStarz, Saem speaks for the group, expressing both their excitement and worry for their American debut.

Apart from preparing for their Asia tour and US launch, RaNia also is spending some time in the recording studio with a planned release of their comeback single during the first quarter of 2013.
